President Internal Vice President External VP, Local Affairs External VP, Statewide Affairs Student Advocate General Collegiate Senator Off-Campus Senator On-Campus Senator University Owned Off-Campus Senator Candidates for President Let's talk, UCSB. My name is Jason Garshfield, and I am running for AS president with the Free Thinking Patriots, a party I helped found. As president: I will do my part to improve the affordability of a UCSB education by carefully reviewing the AS budget and eliminating all wasteful spending of our student fees. I will take a stand against the burgeoning police state in Isla Vista. In a community where violent crimes such as sexual assault are all too common, we should devote limited police resources towards apprehending dangerous criminals, not hassling students for victimless crimes. I will preserve Isla Vista's identity as a unique niche community. I will be a strong advocate for free speech, expanding 'free speech zones' on campus and eliminating speech codes that curtail students' freedom of expression. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has given UCSB a “yellow lightâ€​ ranking for its speech codes. I consider this Jason Garshfield unacceptable for a university of our caliber. Free Thinking Patriots (F.T.P.) I will develop a credible plan for Isla Vista self-governance that allows this town to reach its full potential, and creates spaces for responsible businesses that serve the community. I will reform AS by simplifying the elections code, eliminating cumbersome regulations that serve as barriers to entry for ordinary students who would like to become involved in school politics.

Melting glaciers and shrink- ing polar ice caps continue to raise sea level and alter ocean ecosystems. The intensification of ocean acidification threatens coral reefs and many shelled organisms. Fisheries continue to decline. For- tunately, public awareness of the need for better stewardship of the oceans is growing and steward- ship of the environment is high on the agenda of presidential candidates for both major parties. This renewal of interest in our planet’s oceans is heartening and MSI has been contributing the scientific knowledge that is both fostering public awareness and providing a roadmap to solving these prob- lems. Here are just a few examples: Research into the biological effects of ocean acidification by EEMB faculty member Gretchen Hofmann is revealing how calcifying organisms such as sea urchins, a major local fishery, and pteropods, a major food item for Pacific salmon, are adversely affected by increased ocean acidity.
